Tories Turn To Bingo In Popularity Stakes

Sean Lowe — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:00:38 +0000

After a week of Labour slipping down the poles with the smear campaign it looks like the party are taking desperate measure to boost their their appeal to the masses by playing bingo! According to one Mecca Bingo parlour, Foreign Secretary MP David Miliband turned up in South Shields after an invite from the company’s Chief Exec. The brand are involved with the ‘Save Our Bingo’ campaign which is fighting against unfair double taxation laws that’s threatening more and more offline bingo outlets.

The Foreign Secretary is apparently keen to look into the issue and even tried his hand at being a bingo caller (apparently it’s similar to shouting out in the House of Commons!). Luckily, his calls were well received, but the 15% VAT and 15% gross tax currently paid by bingo halls isn’t going down so week. With credit crunch hitting, community concerns like bingo’s offline decline could be a real vote winner so don’t be surprised to see more MP’s popping up at your local bingo parlour. Maybe they should think about election cards with a bingo style lotto prize for the winning ticket that should ensure a healthy turn-out and a bit of fun to boot!

New Online Bingo Games Soon Launching

Sean Lowe — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 23:51:25 +0000

One of the internet’s largest online bingo software developing companies, Virtue Fusion, has announce the release of three innovative new online bingo games; Arabian Delights, Beat the Banker and Beach side Bonanza. Each of the new games, based on sizzling hot Summer themes, will not only employ the latest in scratch card technology, but will also be hooked up to exclusive progressive jackpots.

The three new bingo games are scheduled to be launched on July 21^st and July 28^th, and according to the CEO of Virtue Fusion, Bob McCulloch, the move was planned as a means by which to stay ahead of other industry rivals. McCulloch also explicated that the goal behind their being linked up to exclusive progressive jackpots and boasting scratch cards is to ensure the products’ longevity in the market.

Furthermore, the customer site retention is expected to progress well should the games maintain a long life in the market. This is because the use of progressive jackpots will create much larger progressive jackpots over time as a result. The three games will also each be linked to the same progressive jackpots specifically for advancing this purpose.

In order to win the big bucks, players will have to match up any of the three symbols and bet anywhere between 20 pence and two pounds. However, the maximum will have to be staked in order to win 100% of the progressive jackpot – any less will earn only a percentage of it depending on how much was spent by the player. For example, the minimum of 20 pence is worth 10% of the progressive jackpot.

Until the release of these games, players can enjoy the best in online bingo at William Hill Bingo, featuring all the most popular games, wide-ranging stakes, impressive jackpots and an unbeatable community feel.

Bingo To Appeal To The Male Nuts Generation

Normand Root — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 20:50:18 +0000

Although online bingo is played by hoards of both girls and guys the female dominated bingo parlours remain the stereotypical image of web bingo gamers. However, the move is under way to attract more male gamers in the 18-35 zone commonly known as the ‘Lad Mag’ niche. In fact, Netplay, an online bingo company, have announced a new Live TV bingo show, that will air on the iconic free view channel, Nuts TV. The digital version of the classic 90’s Lad Mag is estimated to air to over 23 million viewers across the UK. Significantly, the concept fits in nicely with Netplay’s other interactive gambling show ‘Supercasino’ which offers a more holistic gaming experience, that appeals to both men and women.

Naturally, the approach taken to a male dominated audience will be interesting to see and it could herald a new niche of Lad Mag style bingo sites popping up within the near future. In addition it looks like TV is powering-up to grab its fair share of the bingo market, with interactive TV delivering the real prospect of attracting more bingo players, including new niches like young males.
